Tillot

Alarmed by Ryia's vision I ran to find Edith in her charmers and we hurried back to the dungeon at a fast pace.

Ryia insisted to come with us although I didn't want her to. But she wouldn't take no for an answer.

When Edith, Ryia and I stepped down into the dungeon that night we wasn't prepared for what we were going to see.

Hugo's lifeless body was laid beside the jail bars as were his insiders that were scattered in his cell.

"You were right, Ryia. He's dead" I sighed a deep breath. Edith covered her hand over mouth to stop her from feeling nauseous. "But I don't understand!" She screamed turning her head in frustration.

Edith and I were about to inspect Hugo's cell until a horrifying creature with a lamprey mouth covered in blood, shape teeth, hollow eyes and slimy skin.

And

I.

Could.

Not.

Believe.

My.

Eyes.

There.

It.

Stood.

A.

Shaver.

In.

The.

Flesh.

Ryia panicky called out. "Look out!" The shaver lunged it's self towards me but I doubt it's attack in time and drew my sword from my holster belt.

The creature had it's eyes on Edith who quickly drew her sword for protection. It's growls roared loudly through the dungeon.

With every courage I had. I changed towards the creature and cut off its arm to weaken it.

But this only made the shaver more pissed off.

"What the fuck did you do that, Tillot?" Edith angrily frowned. "Because I thought I could stop it!" I argued staring the shaver dead in the eye.

I doubted another attack from the creature and dig my sword into its shoulder. "Well!" Edith injected silently opening up the cell door. "That clearly didn't work did it"

"Wait!" Ryia chimed. "I have an idea" Ryia focused on her full attention on the shaver to use her mind to make it burn to death.

As we watched it flee into the cell

But.

That.

Didn't

Even.

Fucking.

Work.

My mind was flaming like a candle in the wind. "The heart?" Edith observed me puzzled closing the cell. "The heart? What do you mean by the heart, Tillot?"

"My cousin Oswin just to tell stories about them we were children"

"So we'd better hurry" Ryia warned. "Before that creature kills one of us" she used her mind to cool down the shaver with water.

Edith and I reopened the cell to kill the horrific creature once and for all.

"Stuck this you pissing shitbag!" I shouted stabbed the shaver through the heart and watched it growl it's last breath.

"See you in hell you ugly bitch!" Edith twirled her sword above her head and chop off the shaver's head slashing its dark red blood on herself and me.

Before she returned her sword back into her holster belt.

Ryia worryingly ran over to the cell casting onto the dismembered shaver. "So the old tale is true?" She stood in awe. "The shavers are indeed real"

"But isn't the end of it" I added raising a brow. Edith folded her arms and stared at me skeptical. "Why do you say that, Tillot?"

I put my sword back into holster belt. "Because from what I could remember from what Oswin told me. When one shaver appears and the others will come"

"So we need to the others at once!" I protested with hands on both my hips "Because we have one hell of a fucking war on our hands"
